Thank you for sharing this underrated opera with English subtitles.

[@albrechthuber1084]

What a wonderful production!!! It seems that this is never ever reachable! Bravo, Bravo - perfect! I sat stock-still the whole time. Puccini forever!!! - Thanks a lot!!!

[@stillstanding6031]

The greatest Act (one) closing ever. I was stunned the first I heard it. Puccini was a genius.

[@stillstanding6031]

Some sopranos close this Act 1 with a trailing wail. It's effective if she doesn't drown out the orchestral fade.

[@jeremycouplan3526]

He certainly was. Puccini made us listen and the artist sing and the roof would lift off, wonderful !

[@stillstanding6031]

One of the reasons this opera isn't performed more often is that sopranos consider the role of Minnie a voice wrecker. I couldn't argue with that. Thank you to those who scale that mountain of give us much pleasure.

[@jefolson6989]

It's called " the "italian brunhilde" .and the tenor part sure isn't easy either. I think it isn't performed because unless you are the Met, covent garden or one of the other too tier companies, it's hard to get that many men willing to sing chorus and compramario roles. Another factor is there is only 1 major female role and hundreds of available sopranos. Netrebko is planning on doing it soon.

[@stillstanding6031]

@@jefolson6989 Indeed, it's almost Wagnerian in its demands. Thanks for the 411.

I wish Callas hadn’t wrecked her voice by the time they cast Nilsson as Minnie for the Matacic recording.

Bravo....... Bravo ....💐💐💐

But Freddie de Tommaso Joe? What luxury ❤

[@MrOlogramma]

What masterpiece

[@SpecialtyHorseTraining]

One of my favorite operas. This is a lousy production. Too dark and costumes too modern. I am spoiled. I saw this with Franco Corelli and got his autograph!

[@thegigi4109]

I loved this right up until the last minute -- at which point some German director decided that alienation and not redemption was the theme of the opera. Dammit!

Questo e una opera che non m'ha mai piaciuto. Tranne Ch'ella mi crede niente che vale ascoltare
